Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium - Zanzibar

Swim with turtles and feed them once in life experience.

The turtle sanctuary takes turtles as young as the egg stage and also wounded, sick turtles. They monitor their health, increase them and return them to the ocean when they are ready. They really care about the turtles and their habitat. The guides provide sufficient information about sea turtles.

When I first visited the turtle exhibition here, I was concerned that the turtles were used purely for commercial profit. Once here we realized that it was better to see them as many visitors harass them in the wilderness. They are well maintained here and no animals seemed to be disturbed in any way. The really seem to enjoy and come interaction with people and torment you to be painted. The environment is clean. Worth a visit.

Nice place to learn everything about sea turtles. It seems they really care about the animals! It is a rescue center for turtles so you can't swim with them what I don't really miss! We had a really nice guide who explained us a lot and was happy about a little tip.

Turtle conservation, turtles are released every year. Plan to spend a good 45 minutes there, it is a guided tour. Entry fee is 10 USD. You cannot (and frankly should not try to) swim wir the turtles, however you can feed them and pet them.
